Our Nation Eating Disordered

After reading the article “Our Nation Eating Disordered” which was written by Michael Pollan, I know in the United States nowadays, people’s eating habit changed very quickly and immediately. Some people chose to eat healthier food, some people don’t have time to eat in regular time, and some people chose to eat food full of nutrition. One point mentioned in article is that more and more immigrant moved to the United States, they prefer to have their local food instead of American food, and that makes different people have their own eating style. We can find Chinese food here, we can find Mid-east food here, we can find Japanese food here, and also we can find Mexican food right here. People are going to eat “disorder” foods; one reason is the huge immigrants.

Americans do not strong eating habit. They prefer food which is delicious. Now Mexican food and Chinese food is popular in the United States, but before, European food, such as Italian food is popular in the United States. Some foods have already disappeared here and people are not able to find these food. For me, I think I have a faddism eating habit. I love eating American food before, such as hamburgers, sandwiches. They are my favorite food. But things changed, now I like eating Mexican food and Chinese food right now, although I’m Chinese, Chinese food is different between here and China. However, eating diversely can be a huge problem because people are going to lose their eating habit. Food is also a type of culture for human beings, why don’t we keep our own eating style and don’t change it at all.
